For many years, people have prayed that God would raise up men and women of God to positions of leadership and influence in America. However, during the Obama administration, it seemed the country was moving further and further away from Biblical values as its president pushed forwards with his liberal agenda, bouyed by the leftist media. Now following the controversial election of Donald Trump, it appears that a fresh wave of Christian values are influencing the rhetoric.

“Israel” – a word that garners many emotions and a wide range of responses. It not only describes a land; it describes a people, a faith, a history and a future. It is Biblical, political, personal, and international all at the same time.

There are many evils to IAW, a few of which are highlighted below. 
The hearts, minds, and emotions of students are manipulated and deceived into believing that Palestinians suffer the same racism, discrimination, prejudices, exclusions, and hardships that black people suffered under Apartheid South Africa. Israel is NOT an apartheid state. By calling Israel an apartheid state, the evil that signified South Africa’s apartheid regime is trivialised and the inspirational story that is our continued journey of transformation is nullified.
